i mean for the broken head bolt, it could be the cause of your HG issue.
highly unlikely.
Hg probably popped due to either lack of maintenance or a bean dip previous hg job
Op you will need a good set of 12 point sockets, some extensions and some Torx sockets to do the job properly. Follow the removal sequence of head bolts too.

It's a little uncommon, but make sure that there is not any oil or coolant in the block holes since you can hydrostatically lock the head bolts and either have them not hold the head, or even crack the block.

The M50 in my car blew a head gasket a few months back. Ended up being from a broken bolt, likely from a botched previous head gasket job.
OP, make sure you have the head surfaced before you put it back on. New valve guide seals are a good idea as well.
is there any special tools I need to get the head off or will a set of sockets do it.
